Morning Moment of Prayer...

Dear Lord Jesus...I sense Your presence in my deepest waters and in the midst of Your greatest triumphs in my life. I am beginning to understand how Paul could say, it didn't matter what was going on in my life -- You are greater still. I love all that You are speaking to me and Your Holy Spirit’s working in me. Yes, Lord! Sometimes You make things uncomfortable to remind me to keep my heart and mind on You! I am all Yours, and as this day begins, may I brag about You to everyone I encounter. In the Name of the Good Shepherd, King Jesus. Amen!

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:11

Morning Moment of Prayer…

Dear Lord Jesus…Please start my day! I don’t want to begin anything, whether it is work, home, school, meeting folks, or any duties before me, without You. I ask for Your covering and Your leading by the Holy Spirit within me. I pray to bring Your kingdom everywhere I go, and may it be extended to everyone I meet. I choose to live unoffended today, and instead live full of Your presence. I choose not to be critical, judgmental, or irritated…a tall order indeed, but I surrender my will for Yours completely. In the Name Above All Names, King Jesus. Amen!

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
Psalm 143:8

NOTE: May I recommend for your summer reading, Brant Hansen’s “Unoffendable.” You will love it!

Dear Lord Jesus…I am so reminded in this moment that You carry me in the palm of Your hand.

I am so thrilled to wake up each new day, knowing that an adventure is in store, that You are with me, and that in the power of Your Almighty name, the enemy is defeated! Today, I place any remaining cares I have, once again, squarely in Your hands ________ (take time to name them and leave them there!). I am ready. I seal this pray in Your Majestic Name, King Jesus. Amen!

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Dear Heavenly Father…While the world is so anxious all around me, You set me high upon the rock of Your embrace and the life-breath power of Your Word.

I wait upon You for direction throughout the day and I can hardly wait to see what You do! In Your Magnificent Name, Lord Jesus. Amen!

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.

Morning Moment of Prayer… 

Dear Heavenly Father…I take this time now to quiet my heart before You. May everything I do exude Your presence and Your love within me and may every task before me be done for Your glory and to promote Your Kingdom and not my plans. I especially pray for all who have been displaced from their homes around the world and I pray for multitudes of people to experience salvation. Please send dreams, visitations of Your presence, and Holy Spirit encounters to both sides of the many world conflicts. May Your peace come swiftly. In Your Superlative Name I pray, Lord Jesus. Amen!

 The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.

I am ready, and in Lord Jesus’ All Powerful Name, I pray. Amen!

the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;

In Your presence, I never cease to find refreshment, healing, and guidance. Today, may I once again be a conduit of the Holy Spirit’s power in another person’s life.

Dear Lord Jesus…Thank You for leading the way! However, I realize that I must choose to follow. How often have I thought that I know a better path than You? Honestly, what was I thinking? When has that ever worked? Or even more, how much have I missed out on that You had for me? No more. My soul (heart and mind) and my actions follow You alone. Under the covering of Your love, I am surrounded by Your power and presence no matter what situations surround me. So once again, I start this day by surrendering completely to You. Everything. I am so ready and in Your Incomparabnnle Name, King Jesus, I pray. Amen!

Your right hand upholds me.

My battles truly belong to You, and the more quickly I get out of the way, You come through like a lion and turn these skirmishes into vapor. My trust is in You, no matter what any other voice would like to tell me. I am yours and I am ready to face this day. In the Name Above All Names, King Jesus. Amen!

And he said, "Listen… Thus says the LORD to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.

May 29, 2023

Morning Moment of Prayer…

Dear Lord Jesus…Oh, the power of Your presence! I am so sorry that it took me so long to realize that I can think I know all about You, be in fellowship with other believers, and try to do my best, and still not have a deeply intimate walk and relationship with You. Thank you for causing my life circumstances to bring me to a place of brokenness where all I could do was come with the pieces of my life and there be overwhelmed by Your Holy Spirit. Your presence is now my daily reality no matter what I face. How alive Your Word is to me! How I love the healing work You are doing, freeing me from strongholds and addictions. Yes, Lord. I WILL be still before You!

 Be still, and know that I am God…

Today, I pray for fresh, life-giving revelation from your written Word, the Bible. I want to be sensitive enough to hear Your voice direct my day. I am Yours, Lord. Be glorified in my life today. In the exquisite Name of King Jesus. Amen!

For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning."

Dear Lord Jesus…Oh, how near You are! Closer than my breath, indeed, dwelling inside of me by the Holy Spirit. I fall hard into Your grace today. Your grace that provides a broad platform for me to stand on and demolishes any guilt or accusations of the enemy. And Your grace who effectively works in my life – again, by the Holy Spirit – to deliver and heal me from the inside out! I pray to be a blessing to at least one person today. Please prompt my heart and mind for those who need prayer, need something material that I can give them, or a prophetic word. I am ready! In Your Glorious Name, Lord Jesus. Amen!

 …that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:7
